One of the standout indie titles this year was Untitled Goose Game by the Australian-based developer House House Games. The game got a digital release on the Nintendo Switch and PC in September and more recently arrived on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

In October, we found out downloads were in "excess of 100,000" and now the co-founder of Panic (the publisher of Untitled Goose Game) Cabel Sasser has revealed the title has passed one million sales worldwide three months after the original launch. This figure combines digital sales across all platforms.

It seems impossible, but last week, three months after launch, Untitled Goose Game passed one million copies sold.

From the bottom of our hearts: thank you for playing our videogame.— Cabel (@cabel) December 30, 2019

The reaction was beyond anything we could have imagined. The fan art, the writing, yes the memes, protest signs, Chrissy Teigen, Muppets?! It feels once-in-a-lifetime. We hope we brought some joy into your life, because you brought so much into ours. And we'll never forget it.

House House previously said Untitled Goose had been so successful, it could continue to make games for as long as it liked. In November, the developer also won the breakthrough award at the 37th Golden Joystick Awards in London, "thanks to the to the enduring popularity of its stealth puzzle gem", Untitled Goose Game.

When he’s not paying off a loan to Tom Nook, Liam likes to report on the latest Nintendo news and admire his library of video games. His favourite Nintendo character used to be a guitar-playing dog, but nowadays he prefers to hang out with Judd the cat.

And to think these are the same publishers that are making the upcoming handheld, the Playdate, which is coming out in early 2020. Honestly can't wait to see how innovative this little piece of device will play like.

As others are, I am holding out for a physical, as my backlog is massive enough, and can only keep track if I have a game case. If I went digital my switch would be full of stuff, that I would never play.
